    The Netherlands claimed their second win at the World Cup to when they beat Bangladesh by 87 runs at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

    The victory for the Dutch sends England back to the bottom of the table with the world champions set to face hosts India on Sunday.

    Captain Scott Edwards earlier hit 68 and Wesley Baresi added 41 as the Netherlands posted 229.

    Mehidy Hasan Miraz top-scored with 35 in an underwhelming batting response from Bangladesh.
